For those with Bored Children at Home... If Covid-19 gets them curious about viruses and pandemics... Do they want to read about SARS? click here: https://reneschmidt.ca/sars-epidemic-in-toronto.php... How about the Spanish Flu of 1918? Go here... https://reneschmidt.ca/the-spanish-flu.php Or Polio? Anyone want an easy-reading history of polio and development of the vaccines that prevent it? https://reneschmidt.ca/polio.php These articles are from my last two Canadian Disasters books (Scholastic Canada in 2006 and 2013) The information is simple for young readers but factually accurate. They can read these stories without buying the whole book. Just trying to help! Please forward or share this with friends and neighbours.

Here's my friend Ron MacKay with his book about his adventures in Tenerife. See his books and all of ours this Canada day weekend at the Cobourg Waterfront Festival

Spirit of The Hills is an author's group I belong to based in Cobourg and that area of Northumberland County. Tomorrow we will be selling our books at the Waterfront festival in Cobourg for Canada Day.

Spending time with our sons who flew to NYork from Vancouver and Barcelona, we ate, walked, toured, gazed, reflected, had our images reflected, slept soundly, parked freely, strolled safely and enjoyed every minute. Family!
